“So something quick and meaningless then?” I asked, feeling my mood lighten as it always did when we teased each other, and Ren gave me a mock offended look.

“You insult me.”

“I try. What do you have in mind?”

My king hummed, looking thoughtful even though I knew him too well to be fooled. He’d had whatever it was he had planned in his head for a while, I was sure. “We’ve played with the-”

“Yes,” I said hastily, feeling my cheeks colour. That had been…interesting.

“And all of the-”

“Yes.” Fuck me, I hope no one had heard us that night. I didn’t know how I’d possibly explain it.

Ren winced. “Although it didn’t go so well when we tried the-”

I snorted in amusement at the memory ofthatparticular disaster. It had proven to be a kink neither of us shared. “No.”

“But there’s something I’ve been too scared to do to you,” he said awkwardly, “because I...I didn’t want you to look at me differently.”

I twisted around in his arms and kissed him. “Ren.”

“Fine,mi amor.”He tried again, barely murmuring the words against my lips. “I want it. Very badly. But I didn’t know if you could take it or not, and I don’t expect anything of you that you’re not prepared to give.”

“Then let’s do it,” I said.

“Are you sure, Mathias?”

“What’s the worst that can happen? It’s too much, and I safe word out.”

Ren wet his lips.

“Dorogoi,” I said gently, cupping his chin in my hand. “Nothing you could do is going to make me leave you at that altar tomorrow. You know that, right?”

Ren exhaled slowly, and eventually nodded.

“It’ll be rough,” he whispered.

“It’ll beyou,” I answered. “I would say do your worst, but I know you wouldn’t give me anything less.”

Slipping his fingers through the loops of my belt, the king gave me a wicked grin that told me exactly where we were about to end up.

Naked and spent.

Keeping hold of me, he tugged me backwards through the balcony door. The possessive prick was forced to let go so we could safely descend the narrow stairs, but as soon as our boots met solid floors once more, he was waving off our guards, sending Luis back down to the gate with a single acidic word, and dragging me to his…toourrooms.

“Right,” I said the moment he eagerly slammed the door behind us. “I suppose you want to do this slowly and gently?”

Ren gave a low, dangerous laugh before he leapt forward, curling his fingernails against my cheek. “I want to fuck you, Mathias, but first I want to make you hurt. Remove your clothes.”

“Just like that?” I asked, trying to keep my voice level.

“Clothes, consort-to-be, or I’ll tear them from you with my Blessed teeth. And as I won’t allow you any others, it’s going to make leaving this room later a hell of a lot of fun for me, and pure misery for you.”

Ren began to dig his nails into my skin and I held up a hand, trying to remember how to breathe.

“Just...give me a second.”

“Ahora, Nathanael, before your stalling gives me time to think of more things I wish to inflict on you.”
